Nice - I didn't know this command. As I see in the documentation, this
command is new from GIT 2.12 (my GIT is 2.11). At the same time I see
information that git directories was part of submodules before git 2.7.8.
There seems to be no objection to modifying the instructions in Readme.md
for cloning scripts into tde/scripts, as I mentioned in an earlier mail.

I can confirm that it works. If the git
repository already exists in
the destination folder, then call "git submodule init" uses this
repository and will simple write the information to the ".git/config"
file in the master repository. As a result, the only difference is
that "scripts/.git" will not just be a file, but a regular git folder
- the same as it would be in ".git/modules/scripts" if the initial
cloning would be done using git submodule init + git submodule update.
And this is no problem at all, everything works fine. After all, in
this way the submodules were placed in older versions of the git.
If anyone wants convert the scripts submodule afterwards to match the
others they can "git submodule absorbgitdirs".
